Newton’s Contributions Calculus Light is composed of rainbow colors Reflecting Telescope Laws of Motion Theory of Gravitation
3
Newton’s First Law (law of inertia) An object at rest tends to stay at rest and an object in motion tends to stay in motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
4
1 st Law Unless acted upon by an unbalanced force, this golf ball would sit on the tee forever.
5
1 st Law Once airborne, unless acted on by an unbalanced force (gravity and air – fluid friction) it would never stop!

Examples Card, cup, and coin Fixing a Hammer Demo - Coins on elbow Demo - Table setting
7
Inertia
8
Balanced Force Equal forces in opposite directions produce no motion
9
Constant Velocity Motion – No Forces If no external forces are acting, velocity is constant Position changes, at a steady (constant) rate x =1 m 2 m 3 m 4 m 5 m 6 m 7 m v= 1 m/s 1 m/s 1 m/s 1 m/s 1 m/s 1 m/s to right How does determination of velocity depend on choice x=0 and t=0? t=0 sec 1 sec 2 sec 3 sec 4 sec 5 sec 6 sec
10
Unbalanced Forces Unequal opposing forces produce an unbalanced force causing motion
11
If objects in motion tend to stay in motion, why don’t moving objects keep moving forever?
12
Things don’t keep moving forever because there’s almost always an unbalanced force acting upon them.
13
If objects in motion tend to stay in motion, why don’t moving objects keep moving forever? Things don’t keep moving forever because there’s almost always an unbalanced force acting upon them. A book sliding across a table slows down and stops because of the force of friction.

A book sliding across a table slows down and stops because of the force of friction. If you throw a ball upwards it will eventually slow down and fall because of the force of gravity.
15
Newton’s First Law (law of inertia) MASS is the measure of the amount of matter in an object. It is measured in Kilograms
16
There are four main types of friction: Sliding friction: ice skating or tires stopping Rolling friction: bowling or tires rolling Fluid friction (air or liquid): air or water resistance Static friction: initial friction when moving an object What is this unbalanced force that acts on an object in motion?
17
Friction is a Force Force on person by box Force on floor by box Force on box by floor It’s the sum of all the forces that determines the acceleration. Every force has an equal & opposite partner. Force on box by person
18
Friction Mechanism Corrugations in the surfaces grind when things slide. Lubricants fill in the gaps and let things slide more easily.
19
Static and Sliding (Dynamic) Friction Static frictional force: when nothing is sliding Sliding frictional force: when surfaces are sliding Static frictional forces always greater than sliding ones Lubrication provides microscopic rollers between surfaces
20
“Normal” Forces and Frictional Forces Weight of block Decompose Vector Normal Force Friction Force Weight of block Reaction Force From Ramp “Normal” means perpendicular Friction Force = Normal Force (coefficient of friction) F friction = F normal
21
Newton’s Second Law Force equals mass times acceleration. F = ma
22
Newton’s Second Law Force = Mass x Acceleration Force is measured in Newtons ACCELERATION of GRAVITY(Earth) = 9.8 m/s 2 Weight (force) = mass x gravity (Earth)
23
Newton’s Second Law Force = Mass x Acceleration Force is measured in Newtons ACCELERATION of GRAVITY(Earth) = 9.8 m/s 2 Weight (force) = mass x gravity (Earth) Moon’s gravity is 1/6 of the Earth’s If you weigh 420 Newtons on earth, what will you weigh on the Moon?
24
Newton’s Second Law Force = Mass x Acceleration Force is measured in Newtons ACCELERATION of GRAVITY(Earth) = 9.8 m/s 2 Weight (force) = mass x gravity (Earth) Moon’s gravity is 1/6 of the Earth’s If you weigh 420 Newtons on earth, what will you weigh on the Moon? 70 Newtons If your mass is 41.5Kg on Earth what is your mass on the Moon?
25
The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on the object… …and inversely proportional to the mass of the object. Newton’s Second Law
26
When Acceleration Is Zero... …we say the object is in Mechanical Equilibrium. …the net force is zero. For Static Equilibrium the velocity is zero. For Dynamic Equilibrium the velocity is constant.
27
Acceleration Is Less Than g... …the object is not in Free Fall. In this case there is a force other than gravity. That force is air resistance. Air resistance depends on size and speed.
28
Terminal Velocity
29
Summary Mass is a property of objects, producing a reluctance to accelerate, called inertia
30
Summary Mass is a property of objects, producing a reluctance to accelerate, called inertia Velocity refers to both speed and direction
31
Summary Mass is a property of objects, producing a reluctance to accelerate, called inertia Velocity refers to both speed and direction Acceleration means a change in velocity (either magnitude, or direction or both)
32
Summary Mass is a property of objects, producing a reluctance to accelerate, called inertia Velocity refers to both speed and direction Acceleration means a change in velocity (either magnitude, or direction or both) If an object is accelerating, it is being acted upon by a force, and F = ma. No exceptions.
33
Newton’s Third Law For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
34
Newton’s 3 rd Law For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Book to earth Table to book
35
Think about it... What happens if you are standing on a skateboard or a slippery floor and push against a wall? You slide in the opposite direction (away from the wall), because you pushed on the wall but the wall pushed back on you with equal and opposite force.
36
Think about it... What happens if you are standing on a skateboard or a slippery floor and push against a wall? You slide in the opposite direction (away from the wall), because you pushed on the wall but the wall pushed back on you with equal and opposite force. Why does it hurt so much when you stub your toe? When your toe exerts a force on a rock, the rock exerts an equal force back on your toe. The harder you hit your toe against it, the more force the rock exerts back on your toe (and the more your toe hurts).
37
Newton’s Third Law A bug with a mass of 5 grams flies into the windshield of a moving 1000kg bus. Which will have the most force? The bug on the bus The bus on the bug
38
Newton’s Third Law The force would be the same. Force (bug)= m x A Force (bus)= M x a Think I look bad? You should see the other guy!

45
Newton’s 3 rd Law Suppose you are taking a space walk near the space shuttle, and your safety line breaks. How would you get back to the shuttle?
46
Newton’s 3 rd Law The thing to do would be to take one of the tools from your tool belt and throw it is hard as you can directly away from the shuttle.
47
Newton’s 3 rd Law The thing to do would be to take one of the tools from your tool belt and throw it is hard as you can directly away from the shuttle. Then, with the help of Newton's second and third laws, you will accelerate back towards the shuttle.
48
Newton’s 3 rd Law The thing to do would be to take one of the tools from your tool belt and throw it is hard as you can directly away from the shuttle. Then, with the help of Newton's second and third laws, you will accelerate back towards the shuttle. As you throw the tool, you push against it, causing it to accelerate. At the same time, by Newton's third law, the tool is pushing back against you in the opposite direction, which causes you to accelerate back towards the shuttle, as desired.

50
Air Resistance We’re always “neglecting air resistance” in physics –Can be difficult to deal with Affects projectile motion –Friction force opposes velocity through medium –Imposes horizontal force, additional vertical forces –Terminal velocity for falling objects Dominant energy drain on cars, bicyclists, planes
51
“Free” Fall Terminal velocity reached when F drag = F grav (= mg) For 75 kg person that is 0.5 m 2, v term 50 m/s, or 110 m.p.h. in about 5 seconds, over 125 m of fall actually takes slightly longer, because acceleration is reduced from the nominal 9.8 m/s 2 as you begin to encounter drag Free fall only lasts a few seconds, even for skydivers
52
